<p>The corporate covenant is a voluntary pledge made by organisations who wish to demonstrate their concrete support for the armed forces community. It complements the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/policies/fulfilling-the-commitments-of-the-armed-forces-covenant/supporting-pages/armed-forces-covenant">armed forces covenant</a> and sits alongside the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/policies/fulfilling-the-commitments-of-the-armed-forces-covenant/supporting-pages/armed-forces-community-covenant">community covenant</a>. </p>
<p>All corporate covenants include a core statement of commitment that those adopting the scheme sign up to. This covers the 2 key principles of the armed forces covenant, which are:</p>
<ul>
<li>no member of the armed forces community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen </li>
<li>in some circumstances special treatment may be appropriate, especially for the injured or bereaved </li>
</ul><p>Each organisation is then encouraged to offer support in a way most appropriate to their situation and capacity, with the pledge document including a ‘menu’ of options for them to sign up to. This menu covers employment support for veterans, reservists, service spouses and partners, as well as support for cadet units, <a rel="external" href="http://www.armedforcesday.org.uk/">Armed Forces Day</a>, and discounts for the armed forces community. There is also an opportunity for companies and charitable organisations to add their own commitments based on local circumstances</p>
